THE EXPENDABLES: TOO MUCH TESTOSTERONE?

Sylvester Stallone is just finishing up his movie “The Expendables” which he wrote, directs, and stars in. (Consequently, you can expect many shots of his ripped torso.) Above, Mickey Rourke is tattooing Sly in a still from the movie. As we told you, the story is about a secret plot by several nations to overthrow a dangerous South American dictator. The best mercenaries from around the world are hired to do the deed and they are played by tough guys Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and Jet Li, among others. Bruce Willis is also in the film and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is supposedly making a surprise appearance. It’s an 80’s style action extravaganza!

What do you exactly mean by saying californians have troubles in GROWING OLDER, folks?

Whatever he does now, how many more movies, how much more $$$ – his thoughts remain in the glory days of the “Rocky” series – the original being one of the best and most unique movies ever…it won an Oscar.

This is for old men what First Wives Club was for old women.

I am definitely going to see it. Mickey and Jason can act, and Sly got better with age. Not a big fan of his exposed physique so hopefully he will choose to keep his shirt on.

Hmm the the governor of California is NOT supposed to be in ANY films while he is serving his term as Cal state Gov..

Can we say “recall”???

I’m NOT in the least interested in seeing these stretched faces and drug induced over muscled ugly idots primping for the cameras. Out of that list of fellows, only Bruce Willis has stayed natural looking and normal (and good) and he could always act. Take out the rest, leave him in, I’d go to it. Otherwise it’s just a trip down vanity lane for these over the hill low IQ dimwits.

I agree with Reta, these old fools ought to just quit already, they are the male equivalents of Pamela Anderson- old hacks that live in the past. Stallone especially is nauseating with that stroke victim mumble and the lopsided face, his fake muscles look like they would pop if you stuck a pin in them. Guys you had your moment in the sun , now either age gracefully and seek more appropriate roles,or just go away, look at Paul Newman,on second thoughts, don’t, just go away.

It would be great to see all my old movie heros in one film. Just because you get older doesn’t mean you should forget who you are inside. After all we are all the same person on the inside its just the outside that turns to crap…. if you let it.

NEW UPDATE CHECK IT OUT - HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT!

One of America’s Sweethearts is battling a serious drug addiction- not hers, but her best friend’s. Through the years these two have been stuck to one another like white on rice and her fame rubbed off on her pal. They’ve been roomies, have worked together on set, and even launched a business venture together. But all that success has come with a price. After years of being sober, the less famous friend has fallen HARD off the wagon and our gal doesn’t know what to do. She’s hosted an intervention, hired an addiction specialist, and even threatened to end the friendship, but nothing seems to work. What’s a girl to do?
